Rashad’s amazing albumMuseum is Columbus, Ohio’s offering to the national contemporary R+B current that people like Frank Ocean, and Miguel have planted a strong flag for. You probably also know Rashad from his work with Jadakiss, Fly Union, Rick Ross, Lxe, and Stalley.

Check out Rashad at the Turkey Jam @ Skully’s in Columbus, Ohio on November 24th. Flyer after the jump.

Rashad has long been one of Columbus’ prolific talents. I’m not gonna do a discog now. If you like liked Lxe for the Uncool’s “the Measure”, Stalley’s “Lincoln Way Nights” or anything by the 3rd then you already know. LRG Clothing, and DJ Booth present “Museum” which has Rashad situated somewhere between Frank Ocean, Jeremih and D’Angelo.

From a Columbus stand point this song is really special. It’s a comissioned remix of a Nas & K’naan collab by Columbus producer Rashad Thomas. K’naan is internationally known as the SOMALIAN rapper. And well Nas is Nas. Rashad is from the Northside of Columbus which has a large Somalian population. K’naan even used to stay in Columbus before he blew up. So Rashad linking with K’naan kinda bumps right. Rashad’s stoked on it. He said, “I was excited when the call came from K’naan’s camp to produce a remix for his song with Nas. These were two artists that were definitely on our list to work with, just so happened that we caught them at the same damn time. Enjoy.”

Zerostar dropped a new EP Tuesday called Don’t Look Now. To celebrate, Zero Star and Pos 2 are launching a new bi-monthly at the Carabar Tonight. (See above Flyer).

In addition to Zero’s new EP, Pos2 also made a mix, Buggin Out Vol 1. It has a good cross-section of hip hop from locals like LE, Rashad,Path,Fly U and more to just a general whats poppin now like Random Axe, Mac Miller, and Elzhi.
